Top 30 Quotes From Bradley Whitford

Joseph: America is dying. It's an idea that's outlived its usefulness.

Arthur: No offense. Kay, it's unfortunate, the buyers are obviously skittish about having a woman in charge.

[last lines]
Dr. Rick Stanton: [after Godzilla blasts one of King Ghidorah's heads with its atomic breath] Jesus! Good thing he's on our side.
Dr. Ilene Chen: For now.
Madison: Look!
[the remaining Titans, including Rodan, arrive to bow to Godzilla, who roars in triumph]

Arthur: Kay throws a great party; but, her father gave the paper to her husband. The only reason she's running things is because he - because, Phil died.

Chief: Mayday, mayday! This is Raptor One to Argo. Argo, do you copy?
Colonel: Copy, Raptor One. What's your status?

Chief: Lock on their position, and prepare the hangar for an emergency landing.
Dr. Rick Stanton: Hangar doors are unresponsive.
Colonel: Manual override?
Dr. Rick Stanton: They're stuck!
Mark: [gets out of his seat] All right, which way to the hangar?
Sam: I can show you. Anybody else? I know the way. Come on.
Dr. Rick Stanton: Hope you got a big wrench.

Roger: Your grandson would like us to make peace. So, do you apologize for being the worst father in the history in the world? Even worse than fathers who chain their children in basements?
Walter: I do not.
Roger: That's on him. I tried.
Jake: I really don't think you did.

Joseph: Do you miss the classroom?
Emily: God has called me to a higher purpose.
Joseph: You don't believe that. You had an affair with a martha. You stole a car, you ran over a guardian. How'd that feel?
Emily: [finally takes a sip of the beer he has placed before her]
Joseph: You had a wife and a son?
Emily: Yes, sir.
Joseph: You must miss them. Losing a child... is like losing a... a limb. Part of your body. But you know what that's like too, right?

Joseph: What are you lookin' at?
Emily: I'm sorry, Commander Lawrence.
Joseph: You know the penalty for reading nowadays? Feel free to answer at any time.
Emily: A finger. For the first offense.
Joseph: Think that's fair?
Emily: [long pause] It's the law.
Joseph: Used to be a hand. Back in the... good old days.

Roger: We're not meant to have sons. There's a demon in our genes.
Jake: Title of your sex tape.
Roger: No, the title of my sex tape is "Cockpit Larry and the Mile High Stewardae."
Jake: What?
Roger: "Stewardae." It's plural for stewardess.

Red: I think we have a connection that needs to be honored. I want to say goodbye, I want to apologize for any pain I might have caused you and I want to release you from this curse you've been under.
Patrick: I'm not under a curse.
Red: Doomed to an endless, angry search for a vengeance you'll never have; I would call that a curse, wouldn't you?
Patrick: I look on it more as a hobby, and I will have that vengeance.
Red: "Vengeance".
[scoffs]
Red: On what? Look at- look at me, I'm just a regular guy! You thought I'd have horns,
[scoffs again]
Red: right? I'm not a monster. I'm not the devil. I'm just another human being with flaws and vices and problems, just like anybody else. Forget about me. I'm not worth ruining your life over.

Joseph: I wonder what the voltage is on those things.

Jake: Now, we can't see the cake before Amy, which means we have to figure out a way to clean it up without looking at it.
[gasps]
Jake: We have to "Birdbox" it.
Walter: And "Birdbox" is the bakery.
Jake: No, "Birdbox" is a movie where people aren't allowed to look at things. Just put on these blindfolds and help me clean it up.
Roger: I "Birdbox-ed" the stewardess in Sweden once.

Joseph: Where you from?
Emily: Here.
Joseph: No, you're not, you're from Montana.
[pause]
Joseph: What did you teach?
Emily: Cellular biology.
Joseph: I don't remember any science professors who looked like you. Those college boys must have been hot for teacher. Or... college girls, in... your case.

Arthur: Ben, there are concerns here that are frankly above your pay grade.
Ben: Well, there're a few above yours, Artie, like fucking freedom of the press!

Joseph: You think if you get me to like you, I'll help you.
June: I think that you might try. I think that you might try to do the right thing.
Joseph: What do you know about the right thing?
June: I know you helped Emily escape with that baby. And I know you let the marthas run a resistance movement out of your house.
Joseph: You have to let the rabble rousers blow off a little steam or they'll smash everything to bits.

Joseph: God speed.
June: Emily!
Emily: What is happening?
Joseph: I'm getting myself in deep shit.
June: You're getting out.
Emily: Out?
June: You're getting out of Gilead.

Patrick: I'm not under a curse.
Red: Doomed to an angry endless search for a vengeance you will never have. I would call that a curse, wouldn't you?
Patrick: I look at it more as a hobby. And I will have that - vengenance!
Red: Vengeance - on what? Look at me. I'm just a regular guy. But you thought I'd have horns. Frightened? I'm not a monster. I'm not a devil - just another human being with flaws and vices and problems just like anybody else. Forget about me. I'm not worth ruining your life over.
Patrick: Wherever you go you disillusional freak, I will find you and I will kill you. And then - *then* will forget about you.

Joseph: [final lines] You're not gonna be any trouble, are you?
June: No, sir.

Colonel: The oxygen destroyer, why wasn't Monster Zero affected?
Chief: I mean, I'm no scientist, but I think it has something to do with his goddamn head growing back.
Dr. Rick Stanton: Well, I've never seen anything like it. It violates everything we know about the natural order.
Dr. Ilene Chen: Unless he's not part of the natural order.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: What do you mean?
[shows a cave painting of Godzilla and Monster Zero]
Dr. Ilene Chen: I was able to piece this together.
Sam: Well, he looks vaguely familiar.
Dr. Ilene Chen: It tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars. A Hydra whose storm swallowed both men and gods alike.
Mark: What, you mean an alien?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Yes. He's not part of our natural order. And he's not meant to be here.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: A false king.
Dr. Rick Stanton: An invasive species. That could explain how he's creating these massive storms and the effect he's having on the other Titans. It's almost he's reshaping the planet to his own liking.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: These legends, what did they call him?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Ghidorah. "The one who is many."
Mark: Ghi-what?
Sam: She said, "Gonorrhea."
Mark: Huh?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Ghidorah!

Roger: Peralta fathers do not get along with sons.
Jake: What? That's not true. I mean, look at us. We're doing better than ever. This year, you even remembered my birthday month.
Roger: Things are good now, but honestly, it's probably just a blip.
Jake: Well, that's fun to hear.
Roger: Well, that's just the way it is. It's the family curse. I haven't talked to my father since you were 10. His dad abandoned him at the World's Fair. His dad fled to America after drowning his dad in a well.

Joseph: So. What are we gonna do with you?

Patrick: Press redial. Tell whoever answers - tell him O'Laughlin is dead.
Red: [Lisbon hits redial] Hey.
Teresa: This is Agent Lisbon. O'Laughlin's dead.
Red: That's too bad. Never mind. You win some. You lose some.
Teresa: [to Jane] He said never mind. You win some. You lose some.
Red: [Notices Jane approaching him] I'll call you back.

Roger: Growing up, he had a boat. Meant everything to him. He named it "Walter," after himself.
Walter: She was the child I never had.
Roger: I was the child you did have! Anyway, one day I took Walter Junior out for a spin. I was trying to impress one of the lake girls. Before I met your mom, I was a bit of a ladies' man.
Jake: Yes, that continued long after you met my mom.

Roger: Aw, Jake. I am excited that you're having a kid.
Jake: Thank you, Dad. Oh, and hey, if you're free next Friday, we're having a sex reveal party.
Roger: Well, I went to one of those in Amsterdam. I would not invite relatives.

Roger: You're so excited about having a kid, you're having a sex reveal party. I never did anything like that, except that one time in Amsterdam.
Jake: I really wish you'd stop bringing that up.

Jake: Look, I know you don't like him, but can you at least try to be nice for me?
Roger: Okay. I'll be nice.
[later]
Roger: I wish you were dead, you lousy son of a bitch!
Jake: You said you were gonna be nice.
Roger: I lied so I could say the "son of a bitch" thing.

Randy: You want to know the truth?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: You got a handle on that, do you, Randy?
Randy: He was an asshole before.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Whoo-ah!
Randy: Now all he is is a blind asshole.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Whoo-ah.
Randy: Hey, God's a funny guy.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: God doth have a sense of humor.
Randy: Maybe God thinks some people don't deserve to see.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Whoo-ah. Hah!

Carmen: [At her house, sitting at a table across from Tibby. Awkwardly, shifting in her chair, Carmen speaks into the phone] Um... I just... I wan - .
Al: [At his house, Al walks from the dining room where Lydia and the kids eat dinner, to a small den and speaks to Carmen at a whisper] I-It's alright. You don't - you don't have to apologize, sweetheart. You were... upset, I know.
Carmen: Um... no dad. You don't know. That's just it, you've never known. Because I've never been able to tell you.
Al: T-Tell me what?
Carmen: That I'm angry with you, Dad!
[She stands and walks across the room and begins to pace]
Carmen: This entire thing about you, and Lydia, and... and the kids!
Al: It's my fault.
[He sits at a small table]
Al: I, I should have told you about them before... and I'm - I'm sorry.
Carmen: Yeah, you should have warned me, but it's more than that. It's, it's the fact that you've found yourself this new family and I feel like some outsider that doesn't even belong to you anymore.
[Carmen begins to cry, softly]
Carmen: It's like you traded me and mom in for something that you thought was better. And I wanna know why. Are you ashamed of me? Are you embarrassed?
[Cut to Al, listening to Carmen through the phone]
Carmen: Just tell me, Dad. What did I do wrong?
[Back to Carmen, crying much harder now]
Carmen: Why did you leave? Why did you have to go? And then tell me that we were gonna be closer but that never happened! And why does Paul visit his alcoholic dad every month, but you only visit me twice a year? And I know you... you just seem so happy about being Paul and Chris's dad, but you never even had the time to be mine.
Al: [Cuts to Al, still sitting. Very quietly] I'm sorry. I... I'm so sorry...
Carmen: [Back to Carmen] I wish that were enough, Dad.
[Hangs up]

Lt. Col. Frank Slade: [Randy brings Frank a glass of whiskey] Thank you Randy. You still with Snowqueen Sugar?
Randy: Snowflake. How come you always get that wrong?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Because it's not important for me to get it right.

Emily: Is she okay?
Joseph: Life didn't turn out the way she wanted. She was an art professor; she wanted everything to be beautiful.
